As we mentioned earlier in the aspects of survival: You cannot survive without knowledge. Knowledge of the dangers is a good place start and helps motivate you to start preparing but having a skill set based in practical knowledge turns you into an asset. When the grid goes down what you know and the skills you have learned before that point will be more valuable as time and supplies dwindle.
Another important survival aspect is: You cannot survive alone. While it would be great if you had a base knowledge in every area related to survival most people just don’t have that much time. If you have or are building a readiness community it would be wise to pool physical resources, but also mental resources. A diverse group with many skills greatly improves resiliency. We recommend picking or delegating areas of learning to group members and keep up accountability with monthly meetings to encourage progress.
External Education Community
Resilient Living is a growing and diverse community of educators, pupils, contributors and beginners. We don’t pretend to know it all, but we are constantly looking for opportunities to learn and expand our horizons from those around us. Our hope is to then, in turn, direct our community to those individuals that have taken time out of their own lives to help enrich ours.
